UNFORGIvING TO THE LAST.
A Husband Sues to Have His Name Erased
from His Divorced Wife's Tombstone.

BOSTON, Feb. 23-One Of the most novel cases
that has ever occurred in tho history Of the
courts is about to be brought in town only a
few miles from Hartford. Six years ago gentle
man of respectable character and who moves in
the best society. obtained divorce from his
wife. The case attracted wide attention at the
time on account of the respectability of the
parties concerned Although the divorce was
granted the parents of the young woman have
always maintained that their daughter was in
nocent, and. although the divorce took from her
the right to bear her husbands name they have
always insisted that she should be known by no
other
Less than year ago the woman died, it is
said Of broken heart, and on her deathbed
maintained she had never been guilty of the
crime charged by her husband Her body was
laid away in the churchyard and neat but
modest gravestone marks her resting place
Faithful to their belief. the parents caused the
inscription on the stone to bear the name of
their daughters husband, and this has caused
the suit. The man is about to bring action in
the court to force the parents to erase his name
from the tombstone claiming that as he was d.
vorced from the woman she had no right to bear
his name even in death.
It is doubtful if similar case can be found in
any State or country.

panic. Women screamed in terror, and there
was wild rush in all directions for safety from

added to the momentary terror. People frstrushed
to the Church of Notre Dame and besieeed the

Then came the second shock, when terror was
depicted on every face and the praying crowds
fastened outside for safety. Troops were called

sun. A technical inspection will be

RUsHvILLE, Feb. 23-Hon. Jesse J. Spann,
who died last night. had been unable to perform
any work for four months, but he continued to
fight off the disease until he was finally COM
PEELED to take to his bed. At times during his
sickness he seemed to be gaining, but took re-
lapses and grew weaker every day from severe
pain. He continued hopeful throughout his
sickness. and was very patient and grateful to
his nurses He realized that all was done that
could be done for him, ard murmured at moth
ing.
hon. Jesse J. Spann was born in Madison,
Ind, in 1843 and died at Rushville on Feb %,

Coward-He Declares that He Will Not
Yield-The Judges Opinions.

The small crowd that has daily gathered at
the Office of the Supreme Court clerk during
the four weeks that decision in the lieutenant
governorship case has been expected, was more
impatient than usual yesterday, as the hour ap-
preached for the decisions to be brought down
from the judges room. A halfdozen reporters
were walking uneasily about the room, while
as many more politicians stood leaning over the
clerks desk, when, just at o'clock. Colonel
Robertson entered the Office to learn if the long
suspense in the courts deliberation was at an
end. At the same time Clerk Noble entered the
room, through a rear door, carrying arm
load of opinions from the court, and
they were hurrledly thrown upon the desk as
he announced to the impatient little crowd
that Judge Ayers's ruling had been reversed.
From memoranda that he carried in his hand
he read briefly the outline Of the courts action
in the case. stating that the decision reversed
the ruling of the lower court in restraining Col
onel Robertson from interfering with Green
Smiths exercise of the functions of Lieuten-
ant-governor, for want of jurisdiction
in the case, while three opinions were filed by
the judges, setting forth their personal views on
the questions arising in the case. The docu
ments made a formidable looking mass of man
uscript. Colonel Robertson glanced over the last
few pages of the courts conclusions in the decis
ion. and walked out, remarking that he would
wait to read the opinions in the newspapers to-
day. The news spread rapidly, and it was re
ceived by Republicans with expressions of salts
faction, while Democrats generally manifested
little surprise over the result of the case

LONDON Feb. 23-Advices from Tonga, one

further excitement. but declines to interfer Q
otherwise with the course of justice as admin

and personally trying natives, and have appealed
to the Governor of the Fiji islands to send a war
